Compact Touring Car Replica with Racing Heritage
The Tamiya 58516 - 1/10 RC BMW 318i STW recreates a notable touring car in a buildable scale form. The polycarbonate body reflects the original contours and the added side mirrors and rear wing deliver extra authenticity for model display or track use.
Chassis Details for Reliable Drive
The TT-01 Type-E chassis beneath the body is known for its easy assembly and dependable handling. Its shaft-driven 4WD ensures stable power distribution, and the motor and battery placement help lower the centre of gravity for improved control. Structural elements like the fiberglass nylon upper deck increase overall stiffness.
Suspension Tuning and Grip
With 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and both front and rear differential gears, the TT-01 Type-E offers consistent steering response. Oil-filled dampers provide adjustable ride characteristics and the slick tyres on white mesh wheels deliver good grip on smooth surfaces.
